Mild weather, vibrant cultural events, and the chance to immerse yourself in local traditions — just some of the reasons why autumn is the perfect time to visit Sofia, according to siviaggia.it, Italy’s premier online travel portal, which recently devoted an extensive feature to the Bulgarian capital.
Sofia is one of those cities that knows how to surprise without shouting for attention. It’s not your typical postcard destination — and that’s precisely its charm. Here, eclectic architecture mingles with streets steeped in history and an atmosphere that dances between Central European elegance and subtle Oriental influences.
But it is in autumn that Sofia reveals its most captivating side. From September to November, the light turns softer and warmer, parks blaze in golden tones and pleasant weather invites you to wander on foot through winding streets and lively squares. You might pause in a retro café to watch life slow to an unhurried rhythm, as described by journalist Flavia Cantini.
Another part of Sofia’s seasonal allure? The absence of the frenzied tourist buzz that summer brings. September days hover between 17°C and 25°C, and the crystal-clear light gives photographs an almost painterly quality. It’s the perfect moment to pair cultural sightseeing with nature escapes, taking advantage of Vitosha Mountain’s proximity — just a few kilometres from the city centre.
Italian travellers now have another reason to choose Sofia this autumn: a new direct route from Turin operated by a well-known low-cost airline. Starting on 28 October 2025, there will be three flights per week — on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays — offering travellers a fresh and convenient gateway to a capital city that had previously remained off their tourist radar, according to reports from the Italian platform.
